In a monumental moment for infrastructure development, Nagpur makes history marking a significant engineering achievement with the continent's first four-tier flyover.
The groundbreaking double-decker flyover, located near the Gaddigodam Gurudwara on the National Highway, integrates four distinct levels of transit: a Metro line at the top, followed by a vehicular flyover, a railway track below it, and a road at the base—all converging at a single point.
The double-decker Kamptee Road flyover, stretching 5.6 kilometers from LIC Square to Automotive Square, was constructed by MahaMetro and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) at a cost of Rs 573 crore.
The flyover now surpasses Nagpur's previous record-holding 3.14-kilometre Wardha Road flyover, setting a new standard for double-decker infrastructure with its innovative four-tier design.
The project, which commenced in 2019, encountered numerous hurdles, including property acquisition in the busy Sadar area. Despite these challenges, the flyover was completed successfully, marking a major milestone in urban transportation for the region.
The newly inaugurated flyover is expected to reduce travel time, allowing commuters to cover the 20-kilometre stretch between Kamptee and Nagpur airport in just 20 minutes. NHAI has invested between Rs 1,300 crore and Rs 1,400 crore in Nagpur's three major flyovers—Kamptee Road, Wardha Road, and Pardi.
